    Getting the colour off a photo or a screenshot

    Any image editor has an eyedropper, and every operating system ships a colour picker: Windows has Power Toys' Color Picker, macOS has Digital Color Meter, GIMP and Krita both report hex directly. Sample a flat, evenly lit area rather than a highlight or a shadow.

    A photograph carries its own white balance. A colour sampled from a lit photo of a painted model is the colour of that photo, not of the pot — expect to test two or three of the suggestions rather than trusting the first.
